Description Mark Harig 2019-12-23 00:30:42 UTC 
Description of problem:
When installing (upgrading) the component 'grub2-common', an error message is displayed by 'lsetfilecon'.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ rpm -q grub2-common
grub2-common-2.02-104.fc31.noarch

How reproducible:
The error message is displayed whenever grub2-common is upgraded.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. To see the error message, reinstall grub2-common using dnf:

$ sudo dnf reinstall grub2-common 

2. The following error message is displayed near the end of the upgrade/installation process:

error: lsetfilecon: (/boot/efi/EFI/fedora, system_u:object_r:boot_t:s0) Operation not supported


Actual results:

$ rpm -V grub2-common
missing     /boot/efi/EFI/fedora (Permission denied)


Expected results:

Should expect that the upgrade/reinstall completes without the error message from lsetfilecon, and the rpm verification of grub2-common's files should display no error messages.


Additional info:
Comment 1 Mark Harig 2019-12-23 00:35:22 UTC 
Correction:

$ rpm -V grub2-common

shows the error described, above, but

$ sudo rpm -V grub2-common

does not display the verification error.  (It was my mistake to leave out the required 'sudo'.)
